AbstractDARVO (Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender) refers to a behavioral pattern displayed by some individuals in response to an accusation of wrongdoing. The individual may Deny the behavior, Attack the accuser, and Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender such that the accused person assumes the victim role and turns the accuser into an alleged offender. This occurs, for instance, when a perpetrator assumes the role of "falsely accused" and attacks the victim’s credibility and labels the victim a perpetrator for making a false accusation.

Through the Looking Glass: The Role of Fantasy in Trauma
  • Conference
  • Intermediate

$55.00
AbstractExploration of fantasy has been a neglected aspect of psychotherapy outside the purview of psychoanalysis. However, work with fantasies can be a deep and rich addition to therapy. Adaptive fantasies can provide wonderful, creative escapes from reality that resource and inspire us, enriching our lives, and clarifying our future actions. They can provide alternative explorations of secure attachment and healing that support relationships. However, they may also reflect social denial of trauma, fostering a world view that is not adaptive.
